In this 1951 Vogue picture Wenda Parkinson is modeling a suit by the renowned British designer Hardy Amies. Wenda was an up coming theatre actress and model when she was discovered by the photographer Clifford Coffin. Parkinson met her in 1947 and she soon became his wife. Parkinson photographed Wenda for Vogue on countless occasions she was his most enduring muse and features in many of his most iconic images. In his 1983 memoir, Lifework, Parkinson wrote:
[Wenda] offered to my camera a quiet beauty that does not look so out of date today. It is frozen, it is permanent and it does not age.
